Filtrate flows from the proximal convoluted tubule directly into the distal convoluted tubule.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule

Distal Convoluted Tubule
A portion of the nephron in the kidney involved in the selective reabsorption and secretion, playing a key role in regulating the body's salt and water balance.
